The meditation spot is a spot where your pawns will meditate.

Acquisition[edit]

Meditation spots do not require a colonist to construct or deconstruct, nor is there a cost, build time, or skill requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player.

Summary[edit]

Meditation spots designate a spot for pawns to meditate. If a focus object is near, the meditator will meditate to that object. Different people can meditate to different objects. The object that is being focused on must be put in the spot's 3 tile radius.

An unassigned medidation spot will be used by pawns if unoccupied and if the spot is not ineligible for meditation, preferring spots that would provide better meditation focus. An assigned medidation spot will be used by that pawn if able. A pawn may only be assigned to one meditation spot at a time, although a pawn may be assigned to a meditation throne and spot at the same time.

Meditating colonists train the Intellectual skill. This provides about 10% as much Intellectual skill experience as doing research for the same time span.[Number?]

Analysis[edit]

While not strictly necessary, meditation spots can help ensure that pawns won't wander too far away when trying to meditate. They can also be useful to command pawns to meditate at an anima tree despite not having a psylink yet.

If pawns choose to meditate at a different place than the assigned spot, it will be for one of these reasons:
